The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct statement about the five kingdoms proposed by Whittaker, we will analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Whittaker's Five Kingdoms**: - Whittaker classified life into five kingdoms: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. - Monera includes prokaryotic organisms (bacteria), while the other four kingdoms consist of eukaryotic organisms. 2. **Analyzing Option A**: - **Statement**: "Most of the kingdoms have organisms with a poorly defined nucleus." - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. While Monera (prokaryotes) have a poorly defined nucleus, the other kingdoms (Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia) consist of eukaryotic organisms that have a well-defined nucleus. 3. **Analyzing Option B**: - **Statement**: "Most of the kingdoms have organisms with a cell wall." - **Evaluation**: This statement is correct. Most organisms in the kingdoms Fungi (chitin cell wall), Plantae (cellulose cell wall), and Monera (peptidoglycan cell wall in bacteria) have a cell wall. Only Animalia does not have a cell wall. 4. **Analyzing Option C**: - **Statement**: "Most of the kingdoms have organisms with only one cell." - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. While Monera and some Protista are unicellular, the kingdoms Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia predominantly consist of multicellular organisms. 5. **Analyzing Option D**: - **Statement**: "Most of the kingdoms have organisms with RNA as the genetic material." - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. DNA is the genetic material in the vast majority of organisms across all kingdoms, with RNA viruses being the exception. 6. **Conclusion**: - The only correct statement is Option B: "Most of the kingdoms have organisms with a cell wall." ### Final Answer: The correct statement about the five kingdoms given by Whittaker is **Option B**: "Most of the kingdoms have organisms with a cell wall."
